| Project Description:
The goal of the project is to enhance Powerpoint:mac by a few features, provided it is possible at all. The required skills are: - Development on the Mac under Mac OS X 10.5 - Applescript and/or Cocoa Here are a few more details about the requirements: Software platform: Mac OS X 10.5, Powerpoint 2008 on the mac Hardware platform: the "modbook" (see www.axiotron.com) -- this is equivalent to a macbook without a keybaord and with a Wacom tablet instead [so during the presentation there is basically no keyboard available] The plugin or additional software or any other solution I'm looking for should provide the following features: 1. Switch quickly between "writing" and "pointing" mode, and switch quickly between different colors. (PPT does offer a pen during presentation mode, but switching between pen and arrow is way too clumsy and time-consuming.) 2. Retain what I have written on the slides during presentation. It's not necessary to save everything when I quit PPT. I just want the writing I've written earlier to re-appear when I go back and forth between slides. (PPT right now erases everything when I switch to the next slide and then back again.) 3. Provide a quick way to insert a new, empty slide after the one that is currently being presented (so that I can scribble on it) without leaving presentation mode. 4. Provide all these features in "view presenters tools" mode, if possible. I would like to see the writing on both the built-in display and the projector. The constraint "powerpoint:mac 2008" means that there is no VBA available, but applescript is. The modbook shouldn't be a real constraint, except that there is no keyboard available during presentation. The enhancement could be done as a powerpoint plugin (which would probably involve Applescript) or as a stand-alone tool (which would probably involve Cocoa), whichever is possible and/or easier. If you are interested, please let me know so that we can try to roughly estimate the costs of this project. Newly added descriptions: I am a professor for computer graphics and would like to enhance the slides I'm using during class by hand-written notes and drawings in class. |
